721  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will fall or rise? $30400 the recent price on: July 09, 2023, 06:11:50 PM
Guess its doing alright and there is nothing we could lose at this point if we end up trusting bitcoin. Not that it would make a scene like be over 40k and all, but we gonna stay above 30k if you ask me. There is no way that wr gonna drop at this period. I believe we should definitely be hopeful about the current situation and we cant be losing hope if we want to grow. The price looks as good as it gets at this moment we are all looking like we are doing fine. So we should be having anything thats a negative thought and crus that if we want to. That way we can feel a lot better. Too many people fudding due to price going higher and fear it will crash again, but it will end up going higher for sure.
We can't really be so certain about that, and people barely FUD when the price is going up but they become happy and start buying more, people FUD when the price starts dropping after going up a little bit like what happened just recently where Bitcoin went up to $31.5k and then dropped back to $30.2k later on, such movements are what usually cause FUD in the market, and when there is FUD and panic all around, the price can take no time in dropping.

So even though it hasn't been going below $30k for quite some time, we can't really be sure if it will keep going up from here because it hasn't been showing any signs of that too, the resistance is strong and there isn't too much buying pressure from retail or institutional investors at the moment.

Afghanistan are taking revenge of there test loss in ODI series. They won first ODI and surely they will win second ODI also. Afghanistan had a 256 runs partnership between openers but rest of batting wasn't able to capitalise on that. Afghanistan gave a target of 331, they must have given a target of over 350 runs. This is something Afghanistan need to improve. From Bangladesh point of views its not a good sign as ODI world cup is just ahead.
But, I have completely different opinion about Afghanistan, they are not playing for the revenge because they can't blame Bangladesh for this defeat in test with their mostly senior players were not interested to play test match, and they withdraw from this which have negative impact on their performance, and they lost this match badly mostly Afghani players are love to play in white-ball format, so they are giving their best in this format as we have in this series against Bangladesh.

As we have early 35 overs in today match I was expecting 390 to 400 from them but after having big partnership they have collapse and lost quick wickets which hurt their cause for having this target but still they have done good job and won this match by big margin.
723  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Security and Privacy in the Crypto Market on: July 08, 2023, 04:08:10 PM
Yes. Indeed, the crypto market has experienced rapid growth, but serious challenges regarding security and user privacy have also emerged. Key challenges include digital security, platform security, fraud, phishing and regulation. To overcome this challenge, the crypto industry can implement measures such as the use of multisignature security, data encryption, cooperation with security service providers, user education, and cooperation with governments for clear regulations. Protecting user security and privacy in the crypto market is a constant endeavor, and with these measures, the crypto industry can continuously improve the security and privacy of their users.
How will the users have any privacy if the cryptocurrencies and projects start cooperating with governments and authorities and have clear regulations? When there are regulations, there can be no privacy at all for users since governments and authorities will have access to all their personal data and documents and their financial activities as well, if we talk about privacy from other users, that can be done by using different privacy metrics.

In my personal opinion, the security of a person involved in cryptocurrencies is basically in their own hands, if they know when and where they need to keep their assets and how secure different platforms and wallets are, they can easily safeguard their assets without any issues if they are using centralized platforms, they should use all the necessary security measures to have complete protection.
724  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin will accepted worldwide for legal then price rising $100k?? on: July 08, 2023, 12:51:32 PM
If btc is legally accepted in all countries then huge number of investors will increase. and the use of btc in various fields will increase.

what is your opinion about this?
My opinion is that you are clueless on the subject. Bitcoin will reach $100K with a very high probability within 2 years at most, and for that the legal status of bitcoin does not need to change.

It is already widely accepted in most countries but as an asset, not as a currency. As it is so short what you say, I do not know if you mean that the rest accept it as a currency, such as El Salvador.

But the fact is that it will reach that figure even if there are no changes in legislation.
Being accepted in most countries doesn't mean that it must be used by the citizens, it simply means that it should be accepted and legalized by the governments which is not the case at all, we know that Bitcoin right now is widely adopted by users from all around the globe but you can barely find countries which have legally accepted Bitcoin for their citizens and allow them to use it without any issues at all, they might tax their sales and purchases but that's a different thing.

So, Bitcoin is already widely accepted in most countries only by the people and not the countries or authorities, and you are right that currently, Bitcoin is mainly used as an investment asset and not as a currency or a payment method because it's volatile and people see this as an opportunity to earn money.
725  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why Not Just Buy BTC? on: July 06, 2023, 05:18:29 PM
I've seen over one dozen websites believing that BTC will skyrocket in the upcoming years.
The platform I use is Coinbase.
I'm thinking of just buying BTC-USD and just leaving it be.
Any thoughts on this strategy?
You are thinking of doing a good thing, one suggestion from he would be that make sure you do DCA (Dollar Cost Average) which means that you buy in portions and not all at once, for example, you have $2k as your capital, you buy $100 worth of Bitcoin today, and then you wait until the price drops a bit more and then you do the same thing again, and you continue doing that for every single interval of Bitcoin's price drops until it reaches the bottom or you invest everything.

This way, you will have a good buying price and you won't miss any spot even if the price starts going up after some point. Also, make sure that you keep your Bitcoins somewhere out of the exchange you are using for the purchases if you are planning to hold them for long so that they stay safe.
726  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do we just invest in any altcoin? on: July 06, 2023, 01:16:40 PM
Why you will investment any altcoin due to make profit during bull season?? Why should you need to pick up any just launched new altcoin when you have better option to pick up good coin? Thus you can also enjoy bull session as those will also pump. As you already mentioned, coins that can't manage their standard, will get delisted?  Then try to pick up those coins what will afford to manage their standard in future
And how do you determine if a project is good or not? What are the things one should consider before going in? It's a very difficult skill to master, to be honest. People might think it's easy to identify good projects and make investments with them, but it's actually not, because sometimes even the projects that look 100% legit, turn out to be scams later on, so you never really know unless you have a lot of experience in the industry.

So it's basically not a good thing for someone who is relatively new in the industry to go out hunting for good projects, one might be able to identify one or two if they do a lot of research and analysis, but to have the eye of an eagle in this market, having knowledge and experience is very much important.
727  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Promoting bitcoin besides the profit making idea. on: July 06, 2023, 10:08:44 AM
Yeah, I think we shouldn't be promoting bitcoin as a "profit" making scheme, rather a currency that can be used globally without any third party being involved. But sadly most people associate bitcoin as an "asset" that they can invest in to make profit in the future. This destroys the whole purpose of bitcoin being a decentralized currency that will make people less dependent on centralized financial institution where individual people has no say in making any decisions, nor any freedom on how to use their money. But we can't blame people for using it as a long term investment opportunity due to some drawbacks that make bitcoin sometimes unusable as a day to day currency.
Well, it's not really in our hands anymore to promote Bitcoin being an investment asset or not because the whole world can see how significant the price of Bitcoin has become since its inception, the reason why Bitcoin got this much popular is probably the value it has managed to gain over these years because humans want money and money was what Bitcoin was providing to its investors, as other people saw that happening, everyone started pouring in.

So, now the whole world sees Bitcoin more as an investment asset rather than a currency that can be used to make payments or store wealth, and since it provides profits over time, people are willing to invest money in large quantities to get benefited from these profits and that is how it's going for now.
728  Economy / Speculation / Re: Whats your thought on: July 06, 2023, 08:50:29 AM
Honestly , my thoughts changed a bit after I saw Bitcoin jumping in 31k so easily but a lot of resistance wall around that area was gone before the jump and that makes me guess that it's just for a brief time and most likely Bitcoin will fall in 30k area again as we can see that it couldn't hold 31k. Now , after Btc dropped again in price and it doesn't look like it wants to move back up , my summer prediction is still up with Bitcoin being steady around 30k or even fall a bit under.
The whole summer? Maybe not, but the initial stage will mostly go with Bitcoin being at either $30k or somewhere around it, the resistance at $31k is too strong, you are right about that, so it might go back down from where it came up earlier if it doesn't manage to cross the resistance pretty soon which doesn't seem to happen so far, some very good news might boost it up and make retail investors gain more confidence in the market.

However, I'm personally more eagerly waiting for the next year and I would probably not be selling at any price even if it manages to go around $40k, because I have a higher target in my mind, and I'm optimistic for it to reach that mark by the end of next year, hopefully.
729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't be intimidated on: July 05, 2023, 08:03:03 PM
Dear newbies pls don't rush into making Bitcoin investments like selling a property very valuable to you just to impress on the forum or putting in your entire savings to purchasing Bitcoin I am not against making Bitcoin investments but
Before making Bitcoin investments always make sure the odds are safe for you  like some members here will say  "" make investments that will not affect you" in other words make investments with free money  except you have more profiting ideas than hodling

I am sure this is what other investors here do
Even in the real world when people think of investing in something, they don't do it with the money or belongings that they cannot afford to lose, like selling your house only to make an investment, what if it doesn't work out and you lose all the money or at least a portion of it? You will lose your house and will be compelled to rent a place to live in which isn't an ideal situation for anyone, the same goes for investments in Bitcoin.

You don't need to sell your belongings or valuable items only to invest in Bitcoin, if you believe in it, just invest what you can afford to do which if you can't withdraw soon won't affect your life at all. If you believe you might need the money next month or the month after, better not invest it.
730  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy more ETH..... on: July 05, 2023, 06:41:40 PM
Looking at effective price of altcoins ETH has not really record a bad history and very soon ETH will hit way bigger and better, if you have sphere money buy plenty of it and allow it to run for five years and watch what the outcome will be. Let's not surprise when ETH will shook the market cap of world trade many will be made billionaires and by then it will be too late for others you didn't buy at all. In shot begins to store all the relevance altcoin and wait for it. Happy Sunday
Well, despite every potential it might have for growth, let's just stay grounded and think of reasonable outcomes instead of unreachable imaginations. For someone to become a billionaire through ETH or even BTC, they must invest in multi-millions and even after that, the assets will need to gain a significantly high value above where they are right now to make the investors billionaires which is not very likely to happen even in 5 years or in a decade.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and ETH don't work like meme coins where those who invested early with a small capital might become millionaires if the token or coin manages to get community hype and gain significant value in no time because real and organic growth doesn't come in that extent.
731  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin be trusted? on: July 05, 2023, 05:55:42 PM
Bitcoin has been bullish, so I can say of course that bitcoin can be trusted as an investment,
especially since the halving of bitcoin is still around the corner, so buy Bitcoin at $ 29k to $ 30k,
but if the price of Bitcoin drops below $ 29k then it's better to wait until the situation is good again,
and if the Bitcoin price rises above $ 31k, of course you don't buy it because it can experience another correction.
What are you talking about? If it breaks above the resistance line which is at $31k, there won't be any corrections before it reaches $35k in my opinion, and if it drops to $29k, it's better to wait then, you are right about that because it can drop further once it drops there, now most people are waiting for either one of these two to happen so that they get a clear indication of where the price will go next, right now, the market is in a confused state.

Those who have already invested are waiting for a rise and those who are willing to buy are waiting for a drop and Bitcoin is stable in the middle not letting the market either move up or down Grin. But, as we can see the market has started moving somehow now, and we will soon see it choosing a direction to move towards.
732  Economy / Economics / Re: What will you do when you have Financial Freedom? on: July 04, 2023, 07:09:05 PM
When I can get financial freedom. So of course the first thing I do is try to make my family happy and also the people around me. And I also have aspirations to go on vacation to various countries that I haven't had the chance to visit. basically I am a person who likes exploring trying all the world tourism places. And apart from that, of course, I also want to keep investing and saving for my children in the future so that they won't experience difficulties in the economy. I also want to provide the best education for my children. I want to still have children who can see the equality between the bottom and the top. so that maybe I will not show my wealth too much to my children. and I will give wealth to my children when they are ready to receive it. that is when they already have a kind heart that can always respect others.
Wow, you really are so clear about everything you want to do in your life ahead, even about what you should teach your children about moral values and the value of money and wealth and to respect those who might not have it, I really like your thoughts and I wish that you get what you need in your life and that your family gets to witness what you have dreamt for them, I really like people who have good and clear intentions like you.

I actually also share similar views with you, I wish to have enough money to provide the best for my family and fulfill all their needs and wishes, and I also love traveling, I want to travel the world with my life partner and enjoy my life before it ends because we never know when is the end.
733  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Solana hit $40 this year? on: July 04, 2023, 06:02:21 PM
SBF drained a lot of liquidity on Solana ecosystem also SBF is the main reason why this blockchain project pump so hard because he drive liquidity on this project from VC due to his influence. I’m surprised seeing Solana price still above 1$ regardless of SBF fraud activity on all the project he became involved.

I think VC and some retails is just holding to wait for new investors to enter and use it as exit liquidity to the price which they originally purchased their token. There's a lof of good decentralized blcokchain out there compared to this centralized blockchain. I think BSC is far better in Solana since it has a better organic liquidity that comes from retail investors. Solana is still a ticking time bomb for this current price. I doubt it will reach 40$ this without Bitcoin reaching new ATH.
Okay let say SBF help Solana but don't forget Solana is also one of those solid projects in the past. Its own charm is also what made it loved by the many. IDK if Solana still got it but one thing is for sure, and that is its reputation have been scratched because of the involvement of SBF. This is why I'm skeptical if it can recover this year. BSC is no doubt a good coin but I think both coins are not on the same niche so comparing them seems a bit off.

Also, I don't think BSC's liquidity is organic when this token came from a crypto exchange. I see that you also mentioned Bitcoin there but can we erase the fact that all coin depends on Bitcoin? Bitcoin can't do anything if the coin is just plain bad.
734  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HODL or not? BTC investors need to rethink their strategy as on: July 03, 2023, 05:05:49 PM
The decision whether or not to HODL in these situations comes down to each of us' preferences and risk tolerance. Decision making to HODL or not should be based on fundamental analysis and long term assessment. Therefore, taking the decision to HODL or not depends on factors such as illiquid supply of BTC, changes in investor sentiment, Bitcoin growth, legal action against exchanges, and risk evaluation and portfolio management. It is important for us to do an in-depth analysis and follow an investment strategy that suits our goals.
It always has a reason and for me, I hold Bitcoin because I believe that it will pump when the bull season comes. Of course, it doesn't mean that holding is forever, we sell them as well at the perfect time. As long as we can manage to hold, it will be the best thing to do but if we can't, I don't think it was good to push ourselves as it only contradicts our interest. Yes, we have to choose the best thing that we think is right but of course, we also have to listen to the opinion of the others and re-think it.
As they say, listen to everyone but do what you think is the right thing to do in the present situation that can also be a good decision for the time to come. So the final decision of whether you should hold or sell should be yours and it should be based on your strategy and plan that you had when you were buying Bitcoins, if you are a short-term trader, you will probably sell as soon as you are in profit, but if you have bought to hold for the long-term, it's not yet time to sell for that.

So it basically depends on what you have in mind or what you have always had in your mind regarding your Bitcoin possessions, if you are a long-term investor, make sure that nothing influences your decision and you keep on holding until the right time arrives for you to sell your assets.
735  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto;Bitcoin on: July 03, 2023, 07:21:40 AM
My favorite crypto will always be Tron,it has a very low transaction fees and it usually not much affected by the crypto-market fluctuations.Most of my funds in Crypto are stored either in usdt or in tron
Are you pretty sure that Bitcoin doesn't come before Tron for you? I mean, all these altcoins exist mainly because of Bitcoin, if there was no Bitcoin created, there wouldn't be any altcoins, so no Bitcoin = no Tron. Any altcoin must definitely be a second choice for everyone in the cryptocurrency universe unless they don't know much about Bitcoin and they have joined the cryptocurrency world only by hearing about that specific altcoin they like the most.

Even if we talk about profitability and the risk-reward ratio, Bitcoin stands out tall among the crowd of all the cryptocurrencies that exist, because there isn't much risk when you are holding Bitcoin because you know it won't just face some issue or the team might be spending users' money and the project might fail miserably and investors lose everything. I say that because it has happened on several occasions with famous altcoins.
736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: July 03, 2023, 05:29:09 AM
The Saudis are spending the most to get the players they want. Their financial compensation is something that most players can hardly reject because it is like the highest, they would have received in the whole of their football career. It would definitely put them in a dilemma as to whether they should not do it for the love of the sports or do it for the money. Will he go where the money is or stay as a free agent? I wouldn't judge him if he leaves for Saudi since he is no longer needed in Manchester City.
There are still lots of european clubs interested to sign silva. I think that gonna make nassr feel more difficult to recruit him as a new player.  Saudi pro league has been successfully changing the image of its competition to be potential league in the middle east.
Let's see what kind of answer gonna be given by silva. I think that he will reject it. Remember this if Barcelona and PSG are still interesting to sign silva from manchester city. The way of nassr to get him becomes impossible to happen.
Barcelona may be prepared de jong to be swapped to the bernardo silva while PSG will able to pay him a lot of money like what al nassr gonna do.
So, the conclusion is if silva may not leave from EPL to go to the middle east league as he has still got so many demand to use his service. Silva gonna stay in european league.
Right now Barcelona is working hard for this transfer and most chances we will have Silva in Barcelona in coming weeks because things are looking in this way specially after Gundagon transfer if this happens in this way surely it's going to be one of the best for the Barcelona, and they could be at the top for having defend their title into La Liga and also for the Champions League as well even Al-Nassr is trying their best for this transfer but things looking not into their favor because Silva is going to celebrate his 29th Birthday in next month, and he has bright future here in these European leagues, and he will never compromise for the money and jump into Saudi League even they are also desperate and having good work and strategy for the quality of their league but right now it's not going to happen good for them.
737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 02, 2023, 05:19:39 AM
Undoubtedly, Harry Kane's striking prowess in front of the goal makes him a perfect match to fill in the vacuum that's was created  by the departure of the lethal Robert Lewandowski.
Harry Kane's days as a hot striker is nearing the end and if he fails to force a move away from Tottenham this summer, he might play for them through the rest of his career
I believe Bayern Munich are keen to sign Harry Kane as they will not turn their backs to other alternatives after their first offer was turned down. I think well that Tottenham will consider strongly enough for them to make a lot of money from selling Harry Kane because if they insist on rejecting the second offer it could be that they will lose Kane next season for nothing if Kane doesn't want to extend the contract.

Well he is a pretty perfect signing or target for Bayern Munich if they manage to get him. Because Harry Kane is very influential in the front line for the team because he is able to score goals when needed and his skill in finishing will make him a suitable replacement for Lewandowski departure last season.
Even first offer is rejected by Tottenham, but Bayern Munich is still front-runner for this transfer because they are desperately looking for the player like Harry Kane with Real Madrid and Manchester Untied are also runner for this deal but most chances no one will go for the nine figures because if David Levy insisted about this most chances Harry Kane will stay here and then club lost him as free agent in next season right now Bayern Munich is trying their best for the second offer with most chances things will be suitable for them and other party as well.

After Robert Lewandowski they are looking for the number 9 which is surely going to fill even we have few other top players as well but mostly are having tag of nine figures which is surely not acceptable for them, but this is going to have better chance.
738  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New ethical memecoin; PEPA on: July 01, 2023, 10:29:15 AM
In my opinion, PEPA is seen as a coin project with a claim to be the first ethical memecoin that wants to attract attention and solve global problems through the concept of sharing, the power of community and positive messages. While a PEPA may have a purpose and the idea looks good, it is important to do thorough research before making an investment. Therefore, you are better off doing more research on PEPAs, reading independent reviews, and weighing your investment decisions carefully.
Lol, it's a meme coin, for god's sake, now what the hell is an ethical meme coin? Does it guarantee that you will earn profits if you invest in it and do they promise you the return of your investment in case the token fails to provide? A meme coin can have absolutely no use case or any purpose at all, they will make promises of any kind only to lure you in so that you invest and make others invest as well, it's all a trap, man.

So it's better if people don't fall for such things and refrain from investing tokens that are not what they are said to be by their teams and promoters because the purpose behind all this is only to gain community hype so that the token can pump and they can profit from that.
739  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it too late for newbies? on: July 01, 2023, 04:51:05 AM
Considering the market right now, I would say wait for some time to invest because the market may go down again. In less than a week, the Bitcoin market has increased to about $5000. If the market can maintain this value, then there is a possibility that the market will increase further. Basically, we should wait for some time to understand the market condition. Because if we invest during this bullish period and after investing we may lose by investing if the price of Bitcoin falls.
There is basically no perfect time to enter the market, we can't know what exactly will happen next, all we do is speculate and wait to see what will happen, even professional traders can't be sure about the next moves of the market, and it can always go against the predictions of the people no matter what kind of tools, analysis, charts, and patterns they've used to make their predictions and that's because the cryptocurrency market is basically unpredictable.

The best way to enter the market is to start doing DCA which means not to buy with everything you have at once. Since we don't know where the market might be headed after this, we should buy only a portion and then wait for a movement, if it starts going up, we should wait, and as soon as it starts going down, we should keep buying after specific intervals.
740  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hold Bitcoin VS Hold Gold on: June 30, 2023, 11:33:15 AM
If I think about the price of bitcoin and gold, I will invest in both. Because investing in bitcoin is very risky. And if we invest in gold, we will have a small profit. And it will become an asset for us. And if we  If we invest in Bitcoin we will have the possibility of losing money.I think we can invest some money in bitcoin gold and if some time give us a chance to make a lot of money.
Most people want high profits and to get rich quickly, so they will choose bitcoin over gold. But on the contrary, those with a lot of money, billionaires, will choose gold because they need the safety of their huge wealth. But why don't we hold both? Asset diversification is always a good thing. By investing in both, we can both limit our risk in gold and make a substantial profit in bitcoin. As far as I know, there is no rule that prohibits us from owning both or is forced to choose only 1. So why do we always compare them to find the better one?
No, the ones who are super rich will prefer everything. You do not become rich by investing into a single thing, when you have billions, you invest into gold, bitcoin and more importantly business. When you have that much money, it doesn't make sense to just buy assets like gold and bitcoin, it makes more sense if you end up spending your money to buy a share of a company, not a small amount of share like we would do, I mean like a chunk of it.

Like if you are super rich, why not get 10% of google, sure it would be pretty hard because that's a lot of money, but that's how they do it, and they even take a loan to do that. In the end, we should be considering growth as our only concern, and growth can be done with both together.
